After reading the excellent most recent post at reiki4writers, I wanted to do a little further research into the idea of this upcoming year's New Year's Day having the interesting numbers of 1-1-11.  I am not a numerology expert or practitioner, but for whatever reason this particular combination intrigued me and gave me a funny feeling.  Which, when I have a funny feeling I always have to follow it!

Interesting tidbits discovered are that Oprah is launching her new network, OWN, not coincidentally, on this day and that there is a whole host of people that feel that seeing 11:11 on a clock is a time to make a wish and that we are strongly connected to our guides and angels at that time.

I found out on the 11:11 dimension website the following (quoted directly):

• The 2012 Winter Solstice will occur on December 21, at 11:11 Universal Time (UTC). On this unusual winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This is a rare astronomical alignment. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time. The ancient Maya recognized this as the Sacred Tree, an event that has been coming to resonance very slowly over thousands and thousands of years. This event is also recognized in Native American and Egyptian cultures to name a few. In Astrology,The 2012 winter solstice will mark the end of the age of Pisces and the beginning of the age of Aquarius.
• In Numerology 11 is a Master (or Power) Number, as are all double digit numbers, such as 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, and 99. The 11 represents rare and exceptional energy originating from outside mundane reality. It also represents impractical idealism, being visionary, intuition, revelation, and artistic and inventive genius. In Astrology, the eleventh sign of the zodiac is Aquarius associated with the 11th house. The astrological traits of Aquarius are attributed to humanitarianism, eceentricity, Intellectualism and Independence. Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius and brings with it a new way of looking at things and its approach is best met with an expanded consciousness. Uranus rules unexpected change, upheaval and revolution.
• 11:11 is said to be a pre-encoded trigger placed in our cellular memory banks prior to our descent/incarnation into matter. when activated, it will signify that our time of completion and ascension is near. A shift will occur. Our consciousness will raise in frequency along with our bodies. We will be ascending into the next dimension of time/space or space/time. It can be seen as the evolution of consciousness and the earth herself. One will know when this particular gateway to awareness and higher vibration is open for them because they will continually see the numbers 11:11 (or 1111) in there every day lives and it will be a continuous occurrence. The activation of other gateways can be symbolized by other digits.

I think for me, this new year's day is going to be a new beginning heralding in new levels of light and love.  At 11:11 on 1-1-11, I will be sending Reiki to the world Reiki grids with my highest intent for openness and peace.  I really also like the idea in reiki4writers of putting your intentions in a box that you regularly send Reiki to--seems perfect to me, so I will try it this year.
